Yikes - another major change that effects performance? Are you sure the boats were all set the same - gooseneck placement? Was the new blade an accident or was it made with higher performance in mind? Seems harder to keep up with all the changes these days! One design my foot!
Any thoughts on this product? Looks like a great way to clean up a hull and deck without a ton of work.

I'm all for making the class better, but the new rudder makes such a minimal impact, why have people shell out that money? I'd prefer to get the new tiller which in turn gives you more control should the occasion arise. Leave it alone, focus on building the class locally and don't worry about...
Didn't know if anyone noticed the new US Sailing home page but thought it was great to see photos of our beloved Sunfish for the category of videos & podcasts.
